VM 8.0.12-devo
BUGFIXES:
* Insert `emacs-version' instead of creating wrong version string for
XEmacs, i.e. the patch level was the major version. (Thanks to Stephen
Turnbull)
* Correctly locate the data directory for the pixmaps when running as a
XEmacs package.
VM 8.0.11
BUGFIXES:
* Removed dependency of vm-revno.el to other lisp sources to avoid
building it in a release bundle. (Thanks to Ralf Fassel)
VM 8.0.10
NOTES:
* This is the first version of VM 8.* to be also released as a XEmacs
package.
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Added missing documentation for `vm-user-agent', "?" binding and
'vm-delete-duplicate-messages'. (Thanks to Alan Wehmann)
* `vm-message-history.el' now uses a buffer similar to the summary for
browsing the history. The buffer replaces the summary buffer when
present. Duplicate history entries will be removed.
* Define and use `vm-replace-in-string' which is `replace-in-string'
from XEmacs to avoid clashes with other GNU Emacs packages defining
it differently. Unfortunately, GNU Emacs still does not provide this
handy function. (Thanks to Josť Miguel Figueroa)
* MIME encoding of header will automatically happen now and has been moved
from `vm-rfaddons.el' to `vm-mime.el' and `vm-vars.el'.
BUGFIXES:
* Rewrote `vm-message-history.el' to also work for XEmacs.
* Leading lines of a yanked message were accidently taken as headers and
got removed if `vm-reply-include-presentation' was t.
* Fixed encoding of headers for trailing 8 bit characters. (Thanks to
Lutz Euler for the patch)
* Decode (QP-)encoded clear text before decrypting it.
* Use nil as default for `vm-mime-8bit-composition-charset' and thus
enable proper detection of right charset. (Thanks to Naoki Saito for
reporting and debugging)
* Fixed bug in `vm-mime-display-external-generic' for GNU Emacs 23 causing
corrupted content in the output file. The old code has been replaced by
a call to `vm-mime-send-body-to-file' which avoids duplication and works.
There has been some special handling for `vm-fsfemacs-mule-p', but the
actual reason for this was unclear so it has been removed.
* Correctly handle `vm-enable-addons' being t.
* Correctly store UTF-8 strings in the X-VM-v5-Data header to avoid
corruption of summay lines. (Thanks to Yuning Feng for reporting)
* Correctly encode multibyte subjects. (Thanks to Yuning Feng for the
patch)
* Use BASE64 for header encoding when there are special chars not quoted
by QP normally. You may configure this by `vm-mime-encode-headers-type'.
* qp-decode program handles premature end of QP-encoded stream now
gracefully. (Thanks to Ralf Fassel for the bug report, fix and testing)
* Added missing newline after "Content-Type" when using the command
`vm-mime-attach-object-from-message'. (Thanks to Dan Freed)
VM 8.0.9
BUGFIXES:
* Added documentation to `vm-mime-external-content-types-alist' that no
extra single quotes should be used around %f as the file name is already
quoted for the shell. (Thanks to Martin Schwenke)
* Fixed version number generation in release script. It was broken for
8.0.8, i.e. it was showing 8.0.x-xemacs-542 instead. Now also other
branch related information is stored in the file vm-revno.el.
VM 8.0.8
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Reactivated "Allow defadvice on function `vm' by recursing on session
start". It should work correctly now.
* Added interactive `vm-pipe-message-to-command-discard-output' and
the non-interactive `vm-pipe-message-to-command-to-string' for using
it in own functions.
* Added `vm-pipe-messages-to-command*' for bulk piping messages to a
single command, i.e. like saving to a pipe. This is substantially
faster than `vm-pipe-message-to-command*' which call the command on
each message separately. You may want to use it to feed spamassasin.
* Modified key bindings for piping messages, i.e. "|" is a prefix key
now. Type it twice to get the old pipe command, "|d" will call the
discard the output, just display some infos in the mode line. "|s"
will call `vm-pipe-messages-to-command' and "|n" will also call it
but discard the output.
* Removed vm-easymenu.el and use easymenu.el instead.
* In `vm-save-message-preview', ask the user if the output file already
exists instead of silently overwriting it.
BUGFIXES:
* Moved [Undo] to Dispose menu and [Emacs] to Help menu as these do not
work in Emacs 22 anymore when on the menu bar.
* Fixed intermixing of signature and quoted text in reply if
`vm-reply-include-presentation' is t. (Thanks to Roland Winkler for
debugging and reporting)
* Fixed yanking of presentation from wrong folder when folder is virtual.
(Thanks to Roland Winkler for reporting)
* Redistributed flag not displayed in presentation buffer mode line.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428248 (Thanks to Jonathan
Underwood for the fix)
* `vm-submit-bug-report' gets the variables dynamically now and thus does
not miss new ones or references old ones anymore.
* Correctly determine the real folder when postponing compositions started
from a virtual folder. (Thanks to Uday S. Reddy for reporting and
debugging)
* Avoid crash when `vm-mouse-set-mouse-track-highlight' is not called
within a summary buffer or without a valid message pointer.
* Do not disable modes which do not exist. (Thanks to Uday S. Reddy for
reporting)
VM 8.0.7
BUGFIXES:
* Disable only those minor modes listed in the variable
`vm-disable-modes-before-encoding' before encoding a
composition. (Thanks to Alley for reporting and debugging)
* Removed recursion from function `vm' added by 8.0.6, as it
causes startup troubles.
* Removed extra newline before attachment buttons. (Thanks to Alley for
reporting)
* Removed wrongly used calls to `interactive-p'. (Thanks to Alley for
reporting and debugging)
VM 8.0.6
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Rewrote INSTALL to be more consistent and more understandable.
* Allow defadvice on function `vm' by recursing on session start. (Thanks
to Blueman for the code)
BUGFIXES:
* Ignore empty reply-to in `vm-ignored-reply-to'.
* Quoted the variable `vm-summary-format' in a doc string.
* Fixed typos in the docstring of `vm-mail-send-and-exit'.
* Disable all minor modes before encoding a composition. This results in
faster encoding when font-lock was enabled and avoids problems when
parts of a MIME object button get expanded due to an abbrev and thus the
extent/overlay gets split into two separate parts causing an encoding
error.
* Avoid duplicate mime buttons during decoding. (Thanks to Alley for
reporting)
* Mask 8 bit chars by 0xff in `vm-mime-qp-encode-region' to avoid crash
for those with all higher order bits set (negative ones?) (Thanks to
Blueman for the fix.)
VM 8.0.5
BUGFIXES:
* Fixed bug caused by fixing `vm-drop-buffer-name-chars' in 8.0.4. There
is a 20-40% chance to create a new bug when fixing one. Regression
tests would be nice, but we do not have any for VM ;-/
VM 8.0.4
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Require cl.el at compile-time only. (Thanks to John J. Foerch)
* Quiet compiler warning about old style backquotes. (Thanks to John
J. Foerch)
BUGFIXES:
* Correctly call custom-add-load. (Thanks to John J. Foerch and
Jonathan.underwood)
* Fixed building of vm-cus-load.el for Emacs 21.
* Use the old default for `vm-primary-inbox', i.e. "~/INBOX".
* Honor a t in `vm-drop-buffer-name-chars' as documented.
VM 8.0.3
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Unified `vm-continue-what-message', i.e. first check for composition
buffers, if none exist then for saved drafts. Also added new variable
`vm-zero-drafts-start-compose'.
BUGFIXES:
* Fixed building of autoloads for GNU Emacs.
* Docfixes for vm-pine.el (Thanks to Stephen Eglen).
* Resurrected `vm-add-reply-subject-prefix' which was lost by the commit
of revno 91.
* Search for BZR only if bzrdir exists and use locate-file only when
defined.
* Use vm-mime-8bit-composition-charset as a fallback also for MULE Emacs.
* Fixed defcustom of vm-keep-crash-boxes and vm-spool-files.
* Fixed the section headers of the NEWS file.
VM 8.0.2
IMPROVEMENTS:
* Added --with-pixmapdir to configure the location of the pixmaps.
* DESTDIR-Patch (Ulrich Mueller).
BUGFIXES:
* Avoid overflow of `buffer-undo-list' when inserting or encoding
big attachments.
* defcustom of `vm-mime-all-attachments-directory' should list nil.
* Honor pre VM 8.0.0 values of `vm-folder-directory' and
`vm-primary-inbox'. This should eliminate problems with users which
never changed the defaults.
* Use "cygwin-mount" to fix paths when available.
* Activate summary faces only when requested by vm-enable-addons.
* Fixed defcustom of `vm-enable-addons' and added documentation.
* "make install" creates $(bindir) now.
* Separate paths (e.g. otherdirs) only by semicolons to avoid problems on
Win32.
* Handle paths with spaces correctly.
* Install also pixmaps for GTK enabled Emacs.
* Just use the first subject when replying/forwarding to a set of
messages. This avoids long filenames for saved composition buffers.
* Ensure we are compiling with an emacs version >= 21.
* Encode headers regexp and case-fold-search corrected. (Ulrich Mueller)
* vm-summary-faces-mode does not leak extents anymore.
VM 8.0.1
NOTES:
In order to get more features from vm-rfaddons set the variable
`vm-enable-addons' in your ~/.vm.
BUGFIXES:
* A saner default for vm-shrunken-header-face.
* Added documentation on vm-shrunken-headers-face and
vm-shrunken-headers-keymap.
* Added a new custom group `vm-faces' for faces.
* Added autoload token for vm-user-agent.
* Use INSTALL_PROGRAM instead of INSTALL_DATA for programs.
* Do not set vm-folder-directory if there is ~/INBOX. If VM does not get
mail after upgrading from 7.19 it is probably due to the new default for
vm-folder-directory, which was nil before.
* Revised the bindings and enabled features to a hopefully less
controversial setting.
VM 8.0.0
NOTES:
VM is now in my hands and I will do my best to keep it alive!

| to myself. Good luck.
`--------------------------------------------------------------------------
* My (robf) VM extensions are now activated by default, where it makes
sense to me.
* Releases are numbered now MAJOR.MINOR.PATCHLEVEL, where MAJOR is
increased when fundamental changes occur, MINOR for new features and
PATCHLEVEL for bugfix releases.
* New cleaner source tree layout.
* Better built system based on configure. Autoloads are generated only
for those functions marked with the autoload token now, which are mainly
interactive function. Thus, loading occurs only on demand and startup
should be faster.
BUGFIXES:
* All bugs reported to gnu.emacs.vm.bugs, gnu.emacs.vm.info and directly
to me are fixed either by the patches posted by others or me.
* If there are any missing autoloads, please report them and add a
(require 'vm-SOURCE) to your ~/.vm!
* Probably added numerous new bugs.
IMPROVEMENTS: compared to 7.19 (not vmrf)
* A new icon set based on vm-small-pixmaps.tgz which was floating around.
This one should fit by height to the one used in XEmacs and Emacs 22,
but it is slightly larger than those used in Emacs 21. If you see the
old icons, the please set the variables `vm-image-directory' and
`vm-toolbar-pixmap-directory' to nil in your ~/.vm!
* vm-mime-type-converter-alist now also works when replying to messages,
i.e. for text/html one can use lynx or w3m for the conversion.
(setq vm-mime-type-converter-alist
'(("text/html" "text/plain" "lynx -force_html -dump /dev/stdin")))
* Postponing (draft handling) of compositions and continuing of drafts, in
fact any messages also those from other people. (Info node: Sending
Messages)
* New mail header insertion functions for return-receipts, mail-priority
and FCC.
* More virtual folder selectors and replacements of other functions based
on selectors. (Info node: Virtual Folders)
* vm-serial.el provides message templates for composition and
personalizes mass emails. (Info node: TODO)
* vm-biff.el for popups with a list of new messages.
* vm-rfaddons.el has various stuff, look at the source if you are curious
or miss some VM feature, as it might already be there!
